WYATT
Hey, how are you holding up?
MADDIE
I’m okay, thanks for checking in.

Just checking in.
I called by today but there was no answer.
I’m here if you need anything.

You don’t have to shut me out, Mad.
I’m here for you.

I saw Autumn today, she’s worried about you.
She said you’re not eating.
Promise me you’ll at least look after yourself.

WYATT
Mad, please answer me.
I just need to know you’re okay.
Doesn’t even have to be words.
August 22
MADDIE
I’m here.
WYATT
That’s not the same as being okay.
I’m worried.
MADDIE
I’m doing as good as I can, Wyatt.
WYATT
I feel like a broken record, but I’m here.
Just a phone call away.

My mom made mac and cheese for Sunday dinner.
I left you a plate on your front porch.
Please eat, Mad.

Any time.
Did you eat today?

You don’t have to answer.
I just want to make sure you’re looking after yourself.

I miss you like crazy, Mad.
